What is Wulf the Saxon about?

Wulf the Saxon aged 16 has been banished from the kings court for disrespecting those above him. He is sent to Steyning his childhood home for a time until the King calls him back to court under the charge of Earl Harold Godwinson. 

Later, the men board three ships and a storm rages. Sensing eminent peril Harold shouts, "May each man make his peace with God." As the ship crashes against the rocks the ships spins and twists and casts the cargo and men overboard. The men struggle to the beach as they make a human chain. The locals approach. Being shipwrecked Saxons put them in a venerable position and danger. Count Conrad of Ponthieu and his Soldiers confronted Count Harold and his men and sent them to the dungeon. The pages were made to wait upon Count Conrad. The pages escaped. Wulf and Beorn stay at Chattau de Burg awaiting the release of Harold and his men. Lady Agnes entertains Wulf and Beorn. 

Later, a Battle ensued with the Bretons. Wulf protects Guy, the son of Baron de Burg, during the battle. Guy is gravely injured and looses an arm. Wulf stays at Chattau de Burg for some time recovering from battle injuries.

Wulf of Steyning and Beorn of Fareham are brought before the King to be honored for their bravery for saving Earl Harold and his men. 

Wulf attacks and takes hold of the Welch castle of Llewellyn ap Rhys. A battle ensued as the Welch enter the castle through a secret back way into the castle after the bridge is destroyed. Submission or death! Yet another conquest for Wulf. 

King Edward has become ill. 

Lady Edith makes a great sacrifice due to a family feud that could destroy the monarchy. The love that she and Harold have together must end or she will make it end. 

Vision of the King upon is death. Monks, of his youth. God said put a curse on England. Enemies will devastate it from on end to the other within the year. 

King Harold is now on throne!

I will not spoil the rest of the story. 

My children said, "This adventure was exciting just like the rest have been. Wulf grew so much. We felt so bad for Lady Edith. A monarchy is just as messed up as modern day government." 



Heirloom Audio also has a wonderful program called Live The Adventure Club which provides so many great educational extras. Your club membership includes:
